Ubuntu 9.10 nvidia-settings – xorg.conf save fail

Ubuntu 9.10 creates a (relatively) minimal xorg.conf file compared to what older Ubuntus have. This causes the nvidia-settings app to be unable to parse the file (and therefore save a new version), specifically because of this missing line from the “Screen” section:

Device         "Default Device"

If you add this line to your default screen configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, nvidia-settings should be happy again.

Gripe: didn’t anyone pick this up during testing?
